Mine is driving me nuts. That and the rattles.

Get some of the gummi stuff and some autoglym rubber/sealant treatment.

I have solved the above by getting rid of the car for a beemer. Might be a bit extreme mind!

Cheers guys, ordered some of that gummi stuff dr nick prescribed. Will report back. I've noticed that if you open the door really slowly it doesn't do it. And yes, changing your car for a beemer is VERY extreme! :D

I use Armor All Protectant on the black window trim and give the rubber door seals and panny roof seals quick wipe over at the same time, no squeaky window/roof seals to report... :yes:

Umm dunno about that, the seals on my 1 Series then my Z4 and my Dads 5 series rattled like hell - well known fault on them to which BMW didn't have a fix (had the seals replaced on the 1 series several times).

Okay, seems most of you are encountering squeakage while opening/closing the doors.
I've got a some-what different squeak issue. Each bump I drive over I get a short chirp or squeak form the window seals.
You can imagine what a bumpy road sounds like....
I've cleaned the seals to no avail. I've tried a slicone based spray by "LiquePolly" - Helped for a day, then got even worse then it was b4 the spray.
Went to the dealer (a bunch of tits), they tried to reset the door - no help ofc.

Any Ideas? The noice is starting to drive me mad.
